[SOLVED] SoapFault - faultcode: SOAP-ENV:Server faultstring: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9758721 bytes)

SoapFault - faultcode: SOAP-ENV:Server faultstring: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9758721 bytes)

I am making an application in Android which uses Magento SOAP web services using ksoap2 library as below

@Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
        try {
            SoapObject request = new SoapObject("urn:Magento", "catalogProductList");
            request.addProperty("sessionId",sessionId );
            env.setOutputSoapObject(request);
            androidHttpTransport.call("", env); //EXCEPTION THROWN HERE
            SoapObject soapResponse = (SoapObject) env.getResponse();
            Log.d("catalog Product List".toUpperCase(), soapResponse.toString());

In the above code I am calling catalogProductList SOAP API method which has been overridden on the server to include more fields in the response other than standard fields (more fields like product description & all) to create a database in SQLite in Android

I am getting following exception at the line pointed out above:

Can someone help me in solving this error & getting product list.

NOTE: I can see the response of the above SOAP API method in PHP, but when I call this on Android I get the above mentioned error.

Solution

The error is coming from the Magento server. It is running out of memory trying to load a large collection. You have a few options:
